Is there a community specific to FOSS or just general privacy oriented IoT? With plenty of hardware discussion along with software. Routers, piholes, Meshtastic, anything IoT but open source. If it touches a network but you want it to do something it doesn’t. Flashing a doorbell camera with FOSS firmware. Hosting media servers on your phones Hotspot. Loading gcode to a printer from anywhere. There are so many things and possibilities.

If there isn’t someone should start one, OpenIoT or something catchy and relevant.

    There is an entire ecosystem of open SoC devices, code, platforms, development boards, etc. One of the most popular is the ESP32/8266 boards, which is a pretty good place to start.

      I know, Meshtastic is almost entirely built on esp32 devices. Where is the community for this ecosystem? If there isn’t one on a widely federated instance there should be.

        Matrix(#meshtastic:matrix.org) and their forum

        Also, meshtastic is not only esp32, but also nrf which is really cool
